The main potential candidates for the next Prime Minister of Japan support the Bank of Japan's policy of gradually raising interest rates, saying that the normalization of monetary policy can lower prices and improve industrial competitiveness. Shigeru Ishiba, a heavyweight figure in the ruling party, stated: "The Bank of Japan is on the right policy path, gradually aligning with global positive interest rates." He said: "The negative impact of rate hikes, such as a stock market crash, has been the focus of attention, but we must acknowledge its advantages, as raising interest rates can reduce import costs and make industries more competitive."

Potential Japanese Prime Minister candidate Shigeru Ishiba supports the Bank of Japan raising interest rates.

On Monday, due to traders' expectations of further interest rate hikes in Japan, as well as concerns about the slowdown in the US economy and the appreciation of the yen, which dampened investor sentiment, the Japanese stock market fell for the third consecutive day. The Nikkei 225 index fell by more than 7% at one point, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange index triggered a circuit breaker, with both of Japan's major benchmark indices entering a bear market. Traders' expectations that the Federal Reserve will be able to engineer a soft landing for the US economy are rapidly changing. Data released on Friday showed that the US unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 4.3%, higher than the Federal Reserve's year-end forecast, triggering the Sahm recession indicator. UBS Group's senior US economist, Brose, said: "Given that the unemployment rate is higher than expected and core personal consumption expenditure inflation is currently lower than the Federal Reserve's year-end forecast, we believe that from a risk balance perspective, the Federal Reserve is inclined to take more aggressive action."

Traders are betting that the Bank of Japan will continue to raise interest rates, and the Japanese stock market continued to plummet on Monday.

The core reason for the significant correction of risk assets, led by US tech stocks, is the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) substantial interest rate hike, which has rendered several yen carry trade strategies ineffective or facing significant risks, manifesting in exchange rate volatility, interest rate inversions, and liquidity risks.

Abenomics and Japan's prolonged negative interest rate environment have made the yen an important global financing and arbitrage trading asset.

The deep-rooted causes behind the global market turmoil triggered by the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike.

At the end of last year, when the latest cycle of the yen carry trade was still in the relatively early stage (when the US dollar against the yen was as low as around 140), the media explained why the Japanese economy has actually died, and the only thing missing is the announcement of the time of death. The reason is: the 20 trillion US dollar carry trade that the Japanese government has been participating in for the past 40 years is a huge time bomb that cannot be defused, and once it explodes, the Bank of Japan will be finished. The collapse of these transactions will require the central bank to coordinate rescue operations within a few days. Unsurprisingly, the central banks of countries around the world are unaware of what is happening, and they usually fall into panic afterwards, and...
